You use acid & or Chlorine.
Yes, baking soda can raise the pH of pool water, not bring it down. Baking soda is a base, which means it has the ability to raise the pH level.
Baking soda will almost certainly raise the pH level in a pool.
Use Soda Ash to increase the PH level. Baking soda can be used to maintain the alkalinity of the pool water. Just the opposite!!!! Baking Soda will increase or raise the alk. Soda Ash raises the pH. Muriatic Acid lowers pH. k
ph in pool to low said not to use baking soda what to use
Sodium bicarbonate ( baking soda )
yes, it has nothing to do with cleaning your pool though . soda ash raises the level of PH in you pool, baking soda does the same but it actually raises the TA (total alikinity), thereby stabalizing the PH and using less soda ash, you can buy soda ash alot cheaper at a farmers coop instead of the pool store. It has alot to do with cleaning the pool. If your pool has a concrete bottom and you just used muratic acid to wash it for painting then yes you have to use either soda ash or baking soda to neutralize the acid before painting.
baking soda actually raises pH so do not use. check pH level and get that straight first.
The pH increases, as will the alkalinity.
Baking soda can be used to control acidity in swimming pools. Baking soda controls the Total Alkalinity Soda ash raises the pH or reduces the acidity.
One would have to use a ton of baking soda to alter the pH in a pool. Use a chemical that's designed for this purpose.
The pH of baking soda is approximately 8, making it a weak base.
The pH of baking soda is around 8
